Brad Nailer and moldings
Greetings--
Might it be possible to use an 18ga brad air gun (1.5-2") to install shoe molding , 1/4 round, and similar ? I have one of these Iused on another project. I didnt want to have to buy a finish nailer. I was concerned that the brads' small heaqd wouldnt hold as needed. Comments ? Last edited by Piney; 10-16-2006 at 07:01 PM. |

I use 18 gauge for this all the time.

That's what I use, with 2" brads and compressor set at around 100lbs.

Other 16g or 15g are more likely to split shoe-base and quarter round.... We always use 18 g to install shoe base and quarter rounds

Agree to all the above. That is what I use.
